If you’re a Michigan football fan, Saturday is about the sweetest day that it could possibly be, given the 10-year drought the Wolverines had vs. Ohio State. However, just as all good things must come to an end, so too, must all bad things.
The maize and blue dominated, from running back Hassan Haskins tying a program record with five touchdowns in a single game to Aidan Hutchinson breaking the single-season sack record.
The Michigan football sports information department put together a list of notable facts, stats, and overall things you might not have known about the Wolverines’ 42-27 victory. Check them out below!
